There are simple things we do in our every day life that can either make or mar the other person's day. Oftentimes, these things are done unintentionally but they may ruin the confidence, self-esteem of the other person if not done with love. It is not easy to be nice to others when you have a negative mindset towards the other person. In such instances, you may be quick to criticize the person rather than taking your time to understand the situation and be positive. In an office setting, for example, if your colleague makes a mistake, don't be quick to condemn them or their works. See the mistake as a good time to offer them some words of advice and encouragement to motivate them to avoid such mistakes in the future.
It is significant that you stay true to your core values in as much as you want to be nice to others. This means you don't have to bend your principles or boundaries in a way that it will affect your health as a whole. You need to be happy as much as you want to see others smile too. You don't have to always say "yes" to people's requests just because you want to be seen as a nice person. You must be able to stand your ground and say "no" when it is necessary (for your own happiness). Also, you don't have to do things that you do not want to do in order to please others. Doing this will affect your life in a negative way - people will take advantage of this and when it gets to much, you may start having regrets.

We encounter new people, situations, ideas, challenges and the likes in every day of our life and it may be difficult to embrace these change with a positive attitude. In other words, it will be difficult to be nice when we have a negative feeling towards someone or something. This is the point where an open mind comes to the fore. An open mind is key to receiving new ideas, that is learning and relearning a new information before drawing a conclusion. Cambridge Dictionary simplifies the definition of open mindedness, "to wait until you know all the facts before forming an opinion or making a judgment". It becomes easy to be nice when you are familiar with the happenings in your environment.

In addition, it is more easier to be nice to others when you have a forgiving spirit. A person that does not let go of past bitterness easily may find it difficult to forgive others and by extension it will be hard to be nice to people. It is crucial to practice forgiving yourself and others in order to let go of past resentments and negative experiences that are clouding your mind from having a positive approach to life.
There are so many ways to become a nice person and it can start from the little things you do every day. Make being nice a habit and your life will be filled with more joy and happiness.
